League Cup draw: Liverpool handed trip to Bournemouth, Chelsea to face Derby and Newcastle United up against Tottenham


Rolando Aarons celebrates after scoring the opening goal during Newcastle's 2-0 win at Manchester City

Newcastle were rewarded with a trip to Tottenham after dumping out Premier League champions Manchester City on Wednesday night - but Bournemouth nicked the tie of the round. 
Alan Pardew's side found themselves in the quarter-final hat after Rolando Aarons and Moussa Sissoko's goals either side of half-time stunned City. 
And they will travel to north London - the scene of their Premier League win on Sunday. Eddie Howe's Bournemouth have a glamorous tie to look forward to as Liverpool travel to the south coast. 




The pair are familiarly foes having faced off in last year's FA Cup, while Derby - who thrashed Fulham at Craven Cottage on Tuesday - will welcome Chelsea to the Midlands. 
Steve McClaren's Rams top the second tier with many tipping them for promotion to the Premier League this season.  
Meanwhile, the Graziano Pelle-inspired Southampton - off the back of their last-gasp win at Stoke - will travel to Bramall Lane to play League One Sheffield United.
The ties will take place the week commencing December 15.
